Side hustle you can start in Australia 🇦🇺 in 2025

In Australia; Tasmania precisely, a 10-cent refund is available for certain types of drink containers through the Recycle Rewards scheme. This scheme aims to reduce litter and increase recycling rates by offering a refund for returning eligible containers to designated refund points.

Here's how it works:

Eligible Containers:
Most 150ml to 3L drink containers are eligible, including aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, small cartons, and steel containers. Look for the 10c refund symbol on the back of the container.

Refund Points:

There are multiple refund points across Tasmania, including in Risdon Vale. You can find a list of locations at [Link: Recycle Rewards website https://recyclerewards.com.au/about-us/].

How to Claim:
You collect the eligible containers, ensure they are uncrushed, empty, and have intact barcodes, then take them to a refund point. You can receive your refund in the form of cash, a voucher, an electronic payment, or donate it to a charity or community group.

Important Considerations:

Exclusions:

Some containers are not eligible, such as plain milk containers, wine and spirit bottles, and those under 150ml.

Conditions:

Containers must be uncrushed, empty, and have intact barcodes and readable labels.

Reducing Litter:

The Recycle Rewards scheme aims to significantly reduce the amount of drink containers ending up in landfill and to reduce litter, particularly in parks and beaches.
